My Father Flor De Las Antillas 10th Anniversary
My Father Flor De Las Antillas 10th Anniversary
The Cigar
A robusto 6 1/2 x 52 Nicaraguan puro, the Flor De Las Antillas Robusto literally translates to “Flower of The Antilles”. This special 10th anniversary edition contains a modified blend of the regular production Flor de Las Antillas line and is comprised of tobaccos cultivated exclusively by the Garcia family, along with a wrapper of increased priming for a darker and stronger cigar than the regular blend.
A limited run of 60,000 cigars is available, each coming in its own coffin and adorned with a modified primary band to seal the box. As a reference to the launch year, 2012, each box of 12 cigars includes a foot ribbon to distinguish this special edition. My Father Cigars’ factory in Estelí, Nicaragua produces the Flor de Las Antillas 10th Anniversary cigars.

The Cigar
The Flor De Las Antillas brand was released by My Father Cigars in May 2012 in the USA using a variety of Nicaraguan tobaccos, their trademark double binder and a wrapper leaf grown in the open sunlight. They named the brand for Cuba, the largest of the Antilles Islands, which are called Antillas in their native Spanish.
These box pressed cigars are delicious from the first puff, with notes of nutmeg, white pepper and just enough strength without being overpowering. They start with the signature My Father spice and have a rich cocoa flavour. They produce a beautiful white ash giving a great finish.

The Cigar
The Flor De las Antillas Robusto translates to “Flower of The Antilles” and this is My Father’s tribute to Cuba. This wonderfully crafted cigar is blended from only the finest Nicaraguan tobacco. The sun grown wrapper provides an oily addition. Said to be medium to full-bodied, it invites a combo of cedar and spice with a great overall creamy flavor. This impeccable cigar deserves a place in your humidor.

The Cigar
Cigar Aficionado Rating 96
The story of Cigar Aficionado’s 2012 Cigar of the Year begins in Cuba, the island home of José “Pepin” Garcia, his son Jaime and daughter, Janny. Pepin began rolling cigars at the age of 11 in his hometown of Baez. He rose to prominence in Cuba as a talented cigarmaker but yearned for freedom and opportunity.
One by one the Garcia’s left, eventually making their way to Miami where they began producing cigars. Their beginnings were humble: the factory was tiny with a dozen rollers and they didn’t own the entire operation.
They had their first taste of glory with the Tatuaje brand, which they made for Pete Johnson. It brought critical acclaim as well as increasing demand, which led the family to venture out on its own, eventually constructing the massive and My Father Cigars S.A. factory in Estelí, Nicaragua.
Whilst Pepin focuses his energies on growing tobacco in Nicaragua, trying various seed varieties, Jaime is the company’s master blender. They released the Flor de Las Antillas brand in May 2012, using a variety of Nicaraguan tobaccos, their trademark double binder and a wrapper leaf grown in the open sunlight. They named the brand for Cuba, the largest of the Antilles Islands, which are called Antillas in their native Spanish. The standout of the four-size brand is the Toro, which has a gentle, rounded box press and a beautiful and evenly coloured wrapper.
The cigars are delicious from the first puff, with notes of nutmeg, white pepper and just enough strength without being overpowering. They are classics, 96-point rating on the Cigar Aficionado 100-point scale. The Garcia’s have worked long and hard since leaving Cuba, coming a long way in a very short time. Their cigars have made numerous appearances on Cigar Aficionado’s Top 25 list, but this is the first time they have won Cigar of the Year.
